A/N I should probably point out that this is no later than season 5, because I like to pretend anything after that didn't really happen. While I'm at it, that's pretty much true for all my fics.

Jack and Teal'c weren't that hard to find. They just followed the sound of a heated discussion, and walking between two buildings they found Jack arguing with one of the local people.
Jack turned as Sam and Daniel stood next to Teal'c, who stood a little way off observing the conversation with distaste.

"O'Neill's diplomacy gets progressively worse each mission." He remarked.

Jack walked up to them, muttering something unsavoury under his breath.

"John bloody Lennon over there," He gestured behind him. "Says he did not marry you."
Sam and Daniel looked at each other.

"But that's good, surely?" Sam said slowly.

Jack rolled his eyes at her. "No. He says the flowers, the animals, the Sun, the Moons and probably every other planet in the godforsaken sky married you, and therefore, he does not have the power to divorce you. And even if he did, he wouldn't anyway, because he says love is for life."

"Oh."

"Sorry Carter." He said with genuine sympathy. "Looks like you'll have to go through the gate as Mrs Jackson."

Sam looked at him. "That's not funny, sir. And I think you'll find Carter-Jackson works fine." She smiled at Daniel, and it didn't go unmissed by Jack.

"Hey, we're gonna need a game plan you know. The marriage is valid on Earth." He really hoped that smile didn't mean what he thought it meant.

"I know sir. We'll have to hope the alcohol is still in our systems and Janet can confirm that we were too inebriated to make any responsible decisions." Sam stated it matter-of-factly, and Daniel wished he could hide behind a military mask.

"That should be good grounds for an annulment, surely." He offered.

Reassured that the smile didn't mean what he thought it meant, Jack nodded. "I think it's safe to say the alcohol will still be in our blood."

"Shall we head for the gate?" Enquired Teal'c, followed by a groan from Jack. They looked at him and he sighed.
"I just remembered how far away the gate is."

"Shall I presume we will not be doing the trek in 2 hours 10 minutes? You were quite eager to beat your time record when you arrived O'Neill."

"I think I shall save that for another day, T. I'm not really in the mood today."

"Indeed." Teal'c led the way out of the village and the others followed meekly behind.

Daniel finally remembered the long walk from the day before and suddenly remembered what planet they were on.

"Hmmm."

Sam, walking behind him, looked up at him. "What did you say Daniel?"

"Oh nothing. I've just remembered where we are."

Jack snorted. "Wow, you really did drink a lot last night Daniel."

Daniel blushed and Sam smiled secretly to herself.

"Actually, if I remember correctly, it was you who insisted we drink something in the first place. You didn't want to offend local customs."
Daniel blushed again at Jack's comment and Sam felt an urge to say something and spare Daniel further embarrassment.

"Well, sir, it's not like they looked likely to hurt us. We didn't come to any harm."

"Apart from the new relationship status you two have developed."

"It could have been worse." Daniel said, thinking back to past missions when someone had offended the local culture.

"True. The real danger will be when we get through the gate." The three of them fell silent again and Teal'c paused where he was walking and let them catch him up.

"I shall maintain that it was not through your own actions that you ended up so intoxicated?"

The three looked up at him and smiled, but Daniel felt bad. "Teal'c, its kind and all but you don't have to lie for us. We were really rotten to you last night."

"I am not lying Daniel Jackson. You were not yourselves after that first drink, and you should not be held responsible for your actions. I forgive all three of you." Teal'c announced solemnly.

"T, you really are a great friend!" Jack said cheerfully, and started walking again.

"It is true I am much more valuable than you will ever appreciate." Teal'c said, falling into step beside him.
"We appreciate you quite a lot though Teal'c." Daniel said, and he and Sam fell into step beside them once more.

As the gate came into view in the distance Daniel noticed Sam steadily decreasing her pace until he was pretty sure they would soon stop if he didn't say something.

"Sam, I promise you it will be ok."

She gave him a withering glare but he refused to be put off.

"Honestly. We'll sort this out together." He reached out for her hand, and squeezed it, as she had done earlier. "Come on."

Jack paused when he realised the other two weren't behind him and looked back. Daniel seemed to be saying something earnestly to Sam and took her hand. Jack turned back round and continued walking, looking at Teal'c as he did so.

"Why did you try and stop the marriage last night?" He asked Teal'c curiously.

Teal'c looked at him, a small smile playing on his lips. "Why do you think I tried?"

"Well at first I thought you were just being a good friend. But now I think it's something else. You want them to get married."

Teal'c remained silent, so Jack pushed on. "You could have tried a lot harder to resist us when we put you in the cupboard. I mean, you're Teal'c! You wanted this marriage to go ahead."

"Perhaps."

Jack gazed at the jaffa with new found awe. "You sly old dog! Well that will complicate matters with the General."

Teal'c looked at Jack. "It will not, O'Neill. You must not tell him this. Major Carter and Daniel Jackson must work this relationship out for themselves."

"If you're sure of this Teal'c. I mean, they might split the team up."

"They will not. And I am sure."

"Ok then."

They stopped next to the DHD and waited for Sam and Daniel to catch up. They were still holding hands and Sam seemed to be following somewhat reluctantly.

"Cheer up Major; you could be married to me!"

The comment struck a little too close to home and Sam replied testily "Shut up, sir." He shrugged at Daniel who glared back, and Jack made a mental note never to follow through on a dinner invite at the Carter-Jackson household.

Teal'c dialled up the stargate and they watched as the event horizon formed.

"Ok Campers. Remember. Big smile. Even when the Doc starts taking our blood."

In a gesture of a united front, all four stepped through the stargate together.
